Former Pakistan cricket captain Shahid Afridi has asked the public for help. His pet dog, Max, has reportedly gone missing in Islamabad.
Shahid Afridi shared the appeal on social media platform X. He described Max as an important member of his family. Afridi urged anyone who finds the puppy to keep him safe. He asked people to contact him so Max can return home.
The former Pakistan all-rounder also shared a contact number for information. The number provided in his appeal is +92 333 8198181. Afridi said Max was raised as part of the family. He also revealed that the dog survived a serious illness as a young puppy.
According to Afridi, Max became severely ill when he was only 30 days old. The puppy survived the illness and continued to grow under his family’s care.
The emotional appeal has since received attention on Pakistani social media. Several users and sports-related pages have shared the message. The aim is to increase public awareness and help locate the missing dog. Afridi also stressed that every share could assist in finding Max.
There was no public confirmation that Max had been found at the time of publication. Reports on August 16 continued to describe the puppy as missing. The search has also drawn comparisons with a recent case involving another former Pakistan captain. Wasim Akram faced a similar situation earlier this summer.
Akram’s five-month-old dog, Duke, went missing in Karachi in July. The dog reportedly disappeared from the DHA Phase 8 area. Wasim Akram and his wife, Shaniera Akram, appealed to the public for assistance. They also announced a Rs. 250,000 reward for useful information.
The search for Duke eventually ended successfully. Akram later confirmed that his dog had been found safe. He thanked members of the public and police officials who helped locate Duke. The successful search brought relief to the family.
Shahid Afridi and his family are now hoping for a similar outcome. They are seeking public support while efforts to locate Max continue.
